I think the Geiger xenos take this (with even numbers).
1. The Geigers are on home turf and prepared (they're better at hiding - stalking - striking).
2. Any PBer bites or stabs a Geiger gets acid-burned very badly (and I see no reason to assume the acid blood wouldn't hurt them).
3. The Geigers seem smarter. Heck if they figure out what Riddick did (swaying to stay unseen), then even with superior numbers, the PBers are toast.
Let's go with what is onscreen. Two questions:
1. How many raptors were there, in a guesstimate? I just watched the scene where the Raptors fly out of the ground, I am guessing thousands.
2. How many Xenos were there? Remember, VanLewen said to Ripley that there were 60 to 70 families on LV-426. Let's go with 70. Let's say a man, wife, and 2 children per family. That's 280 human hosts for the Xeno's. Add on probably another 100 human colonists, maintainence and whatnot, that's roughly 380 to 400 Xeno's, then the Queen.

Now We're cooking. That sounds more like it. Dude, you get mad props from me, homie. 😆 I like your style, you all went in depth and played the numbers game. If it's thousands against hundreds on an open battle field. I think the Xenos will still win because even though the raptors would most likely prevail in the aerial attack. That pool of acid would become a playground for the few straggling Xenos. Great battle though. It's only a shame that the only person who would get to see it is Riddick 😆

Way I see it, the Raptors have some level of intelligence. They'll learn eventually that the acid blood burns, and if they see the ground covered in it, they might develop another strategy.
Or not.
Originally posted by Rogue JediI presume we've been talking about the big ones, not the smaller ones. The big ones didn't strike me as being anywhere near as numerous as the smaller...which makes me wonder: how would the xenos do if their planet was swarmed over with the smaller ones. How would, say, the Queen do against the swarm that took out Shazza?

Originally posted by MindshipHmm, good questions......New scenario? Up to you.

My threads maybe get 2 responses before they disappear over the next-page horizon.BTW, great sig. I mean, really, that was a sig waiting, if not needing to be made.
I am saying that maybe you can help come up with a scenario here? The current ones have played out.
